I believe it is within our capability to do that very soon

I honestly belive there is someone alive today that will still be alive in a 1,000 years through technology

Either take the view why bother at all and just end it now. Or focus my energy to find a solution

It's the idea that you go thorugh life which has purpose but in the end you lose it all. Which made it all a waste of time (from my perspective)

It's not the existence that is pointless.

Not if you could preserve it

That is precious to me, I can't talk for you but I am amazed you asked that question.

Because you still die and in my mind, all I achieve and learn will be lost so what's the bloody point?

Yes, I second that, like what?

Hi, Please explain....

This again is due to bad grammar because the sentence should say that Nothing Really Matters to me because I have no faith in any religion, I don't believe in an afterlife and yes I am being governed by my fear of death but I want that to give me a purpose and I am seeking likeminded people. I cannot be alone in my thinking.

I appreciate the banter with you but you focus on the detail and not the message..

Ha ha, you are a joker and I appreciate you picking up the flaws in my grammer that allow you ask those sorts of questions that attempt to undermine the point i am trying to make.

Maybe I just need to reword it properly

You confusing the hell out me man! You don't make sense or I am not explainig it properly...

Not getting a lot off support here buddy. The thought of dying scares the hell out of me I don't know how you feel about it. Would it not comfort you in some small way if you knew that someone was working on a solution to keep your brain alive beating death?

Your logic is flawed, I agree I perhaps I should have worded it better but how can I view consuming potato chips the same as wanting to preserve my consciousness.

I keep thinking someone will invent something soon and take this seriously but I am not seeing it.

When you get the likes of Hawking’s sadly passing away, who was part machine part human, it seems a tragic waste of a brilliant mind. I just wish there was a way that he could have survived.

Please re-read, the post says nothing matters unless....

Thanks for responding, I am basing my own opinion in only what I know.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I am deluding myself and I do agree with you and as such you must also agree that the same fantasy exists if you’re looking for immortality through religion.

I do not believe there is anything after you die, I cannot prove that, but what I do know was there was nothing before I was born (from my perspective) and I don't expect death to be any different and as such I am merely stating the obvious that nothing really matters to me.

I know it all sounds morbid but it is not. I am using strong language to emphasise my thought processes that got me thinking that the only noble cause is the self-preservation of one’s own conscious

That is what I would like to discuss.

I feel the same. The true goal of each must be to seek preservation of own consciousness.

Thanks for all the great responses, I will Watch "Tales from the Darkside - A Choice of Dreams" and/or "Twilight Zone - The Pool Guy".

My point seems to have been lost here though and this thread has been about debating the issues rather than focusing on the Philosophy of preservation of ones one life as being the key point.

The illusion that there’s an afterlife is as absurd as believing there was a before life.

It doesn’t matter what you believe in the end, you die and that’s it.

Death is like before you were alive.

Hi ernestm, I thank you for the link, I am new here. Like I say, without predijice. I don't come at this subject as with ignorance, far from it. I was deeply religious for many years before I started to learn to ask the right questions. I even studied Theology for 3 years but my view has not changed and I am certain I am not the only one that thinks the same too.

We are here to find like minded people. Who else can you talk openly about the things going on in your head?
